AuthorTopic: I heard the strangest call on the scanner! (Read 62952 times)

FYI, UII's in an elderly person is a serious illness, It can cause dehydration, disorientation and fainting. The bad thing is, they don't realize they have one until it has progressed to the point of some scary symptoms.

Here is a very good link with info, trust me it's not that funny when it's your 87 yr old mom.

I wouldn't want to joke about them. We certainly aren't using them as a taxi service.

Frenchtown is running another rescue call right now for a male with chest pains!

Fermi is shut down for a refueling outage I think so they bring in lots of extra workers. I don't know the exact number but I know in the past it probably approached 1000 outside contract workers (depending on what else they were trying to do) along with their normal crews and their own 'extras' they bring in.

That is still not a high number of people as compared to the rest of Frenchtown Township's population and yet it seems like they've had at least one rescue call out there almost every day since the outage started. Normally they probably have one call every couple of months.

Again, not making light of any one individual who may well be very ill, but only the 'strange' circumstances

things got started up in Frenchtown at Post and Williams... a DTE crew went for wires down and found a fire so called Frenchtown. The fire was about 3/4 mile back off the road so they had to call LMR and Ida for their Gators to even get water back to the scene. Then the wires were still live so they ended up having to kill power to part of the township to finish putting the fire out.

After that there were fires all around the county.

A bad day for rescue calls too... everybody must have been getting out and getting active after sitting inside all winter and it got the best of them.

Be careful if you're out and about and especially if you're planning on burning... Which I am btw!!!
